Steven Naimark started out his professional career as a clarinet performer. Through his passion for performing, he grew not only as a musician, but as a person, finding joy in the discipline required for his craft. After not enjoying the teaching aspect of music, he began looking for something different, to help separate him from music… to provide clarity. Along the way, he fell in love with web development and made a universe change to do it full time. Eventually, he started building a solution to totally modernize the water utility space, called Ziptility – a platform providing asset, task and inventory management for water utilities.
